Pan-Seared Salmon with Quinoa Pilaf
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crisp golden skin served over a fluffy quinoa pilaf tossed with wilted spinach and bright lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon fillet
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tsp Olive oil
1 cup Fresh spinach
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden, then carefully flip the fillet.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the second side until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
While the salmon finishes, warm the cooked quinoa in a separate pan or microwave and stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts.
Fold the lemon juice into the quinoa and spinach mixture.
Plate the quinoa pilaf and top with the seared salmon fillet.
